Chapter 15: Big Things and Small Things
One more
"Did he press the silver mirror?" Gu Ren was stunned, they were very confused about not hurting the key point, but now they told him that it was Cheng An who desperately pressed the silver mirror, even if he didn't really save him, but he won time to save him, and he still saved him.
"Silvermirror told me, I don't think she needs to lie about this, right?" Kira thought about it, this was not after the change in their relationship, but before. At that time, they were hostile, and there was no need for Silvermirror to win her favor for this. Tell me about the cause and effect, and let Gu Ren think about it for himself.
"He doesn't have feelings for me, but he knows that he is finished, and you have no one to rely on except me, so he can't let me have anything." Gu Ren immediately realized Cheng An's intentions and sighed lightly.
Qiluo also sighed, Cheng An may not be a thousand things, but kind. However, the truth that Ci is not in charge of the army has been the same for thousands of years, and he has gone too far.
"I asked him to start practicing boxing tomorrow, his heart is like ashes now, even if we can cure him, but the addiction is hard to get rid of, we can't let the Cheng family really lock him up, and never let him have any chance to contact Ecstasy Grass again, right?"
"The silver mirror is a bit tricky!" Gu Ren pondered for a moment and said softly.
"What?" Kira is now more concerned with the silver mirror.
"I sent you away because the invasion in the west is a trivial matter, but at this time, they are in civil strife. Our fake princess is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, after all, the little emperor is not from the queen mother, and he has not been close to Yinjing since he was a child, and he is annoyed to be a puppet. The fake princess has always known what she wants, and she picks up the little emperor to follow some tribes to contact. After Lang Li was cut off. Although he did not remove the military power, his prestige decreased sharply, and before the silver mirror was for Cheng An. I didn't have a good time with Lang Li. At this time, the little emperor wanted to ascend to the throne, and Lang Li sat on the wall and watched, and the situation was not very optimistic. ”
"So at this time, Xie Yan has not come back, I have escaped, and he naturally wants to keep the fake princess. For the court, the fake princess is on the throne. It is more beneficial to Yongan. Now, if Qin Xiu sends troops, he will save Anran. But it was also to support the little emperor to ascend to the throne, and the silver mirror naturally had to be abandoned. "Kira is not stupid, she has also been an officer anyway, when she discussed the situation with Taijun. These are also pediatrics.
Oh, yes. All of this, in fact, has already been laid out. Their initial goal was to let the mother and daughter of the Empress Dowager Anran fall off the horse and let the little emperor ascend to the throne. This will at least bring stability for Yongan for several years. It's just that now, she really can't bear it.
"Qin Xiu knows that you can't bear it, but this is a major event in the court. You can't let the people and soldiers of Yong'an suffer for the sake of Yinjing alone. Gu Ren thought about it and said, "However, if they send the silver mirror." Qin Xiu had already promised that he would turn a blind eye. But from then on. The silver mirror princess of Saddle Ran disappeared. ”
Qiluo understood that this was already Qin Xiu's face. It can be regarded as a concession made by Silver Mirror to protect her. It's just that Yinjing is such a proud person, let her be incognito and steal her life, can she?
Kira stopped talking, she couldn't say anything. She is a Yongan person, and she must make a choice from Yong'an's standpoint. She can't die for the sake of her own selfishness, and hundreds of people will die for it. So she can only be silent, she can only hope now that Yinjing can be weak for the sake of the child once and let people send her back. At least stay alive!
Cheng An's spirit collapsed, and from that day on, not only did he stop taking medicine, but he also refused to drink water. Of course, he didn't resist, didn't eat or drink, and lay there quietly, not moving. Doctor Duan is going crazy, obviously victory is in sight, but at this time, he is making such a fuss. couldn't help but scold Cheng An, but Cheng An didn't seem to hear or see, just opened his eyes so blankly, looking at the roof, no one knew what he was thinking.
Kira didn't try to persuade him, she didn't even enter the consultation room. The matter of the silver mirror has already made her heart numb, and she is really powerless to save Cheng An. In other words, in her opinion, if Yinjing is dead and Cheng An is alive, it will be too much.
Of course, she was not idle. As Qin Xiu said, the border people who fled poured into the passes in large numbers. Yanmen Pass is the largest pass in the vicinity, and there are many small villages on the side, as soon as they hear that there is a war, no matter how far away they are, they all pour into the city immediately, not only the Han people, but also some tribes and herdsmen who live nearby, they have no country to belong to, and they live by pasture. At this time, they naturally have to put safety first.
However, when the city gate strictly ordered that they were not allowed to bring their livestock, and even sheepdogs were not allowed to enter the city, it would naturally cause a lot of dissatisfaction, and the city gate was only so big, one family was blocked, and other people could not enter, so every day the city gate was as noisy as the vegetable market.
And those who entered the city gate did not laugh for long, and when they came in, they could not join their relatives and friends, but could only go to the border people's place. Things should be disinfected, except for the soft ones, everything else must be taken outside, and people should also go to the designated place to be cleaned, and the military doctor will call the pulse, and those who have lived for ten days without any illness can leave from the border people. There was a lot of discontent. The border people are also making trouble every day.
These are not the most important, Qin Xiu's most painful thing is that the border people are set up, and all the passes are flying horses to report, and there is a shortage of food.
Letting people in before had nothing to do with the pass defenders. How they live is their business, whether they join relatives or rely on friends, or rent a house and buy food on their own. But once they were forcibly locked up, they were given food and drink within ten days, and clean medicines were all huge expenses, and the guards at the pass could not bear it.
Qin Xiu also knew that there was some suspicion of exaggeration in these emergency reports, after all, it was not easy for the defenders, and it would be impossible to say that they did not take the opportunity to make a small fortune. But the lack of food is an objective fact, Yanmen Pass is also shortage, so many people, so many mouths, make people obedient, you have to let people eat. He was so anxious that he was really at a loss, and there was really no way at all.
Qiluo can't help with anything else, but she can still help with the medical account, fortunately, the medical officers who are now Qin Xiu in the plague village get along well, and when she appears again, this time Qin Xiu didn't give anything, and they directly handed over the initiative to her, and she devoted herself to the prevention and control of the border people.
Gu Ren didn't take Qiluo back to Beijing immediately, in fact, there was no way, he received the sign of the military department this time, and followed Qin Xiu on the expedition, but he couldn't really Qiluo come back, so he left immediately. Seeing Qin Xiu like this, he thought that Qin Xiu was not bad, and it was always good not to help, so he gave full play to his characteristics as a businessman and helped find a way.
There is no food, ask the court for it, the time is actually not enough, and there is also the problem of whether the court will give it or not. It's really too much of a commotion, and it's not good to get it, and it's not easy for the Qin family to explain. Then where did you get the money to raise your own food? Out of the military spending, who is so kind? can be squeezed out, people carry their own purses, how can they give it to the border people? It's tricky indeed.
After reading the account book, he was actually in a hurry, if he continued to make trouble like this, it would be better to get it at both ends. He didn't want to bother Qiluo, she was really busy, the poison was given by her, she had a way to cure the sheep, but if it really changed from the sheep to the people, it would be much more troublesome to cure......
Gu Ren's eyes flashed, yes, they have a way to treat sheep. They didn't let their livestock into the city, but they couldn't let people know that the sheep plague had anything to do with them. But they know very well in their hearts that they have a way to govern this.
He felt like he had found a way.
Qin Xiu soon sent a small team of men and horses, set up thatched huts outside the pass, and began to slaughter a large number of sheep that were not allowed to enter the city. As the name suggests, this is to prevent the spread of sheep plague. After the sheepskin is nitrated, it is returned to the owner of the sheep. But the flesh and bones and other things were all handed over to Gu Ren to take care of.
Gu Ren led people to take down the mutton and boil it with medicinal herbs, make it into jerky, and hand it over to Qin Xiu to make military rations, so that they could supplement their supplies to some extent. The sheep skeleton, which is in the internal organs, is also mixed with medicinal herbs and boiled into soup for the troops and border people to eat. This would also reduce the cost of military rations. It can also improve everyone's food.
This method has satisfied everyone. Qin Xiu hurriedly asked him to write down the prescription, close it at each pass, and follow it according to the law. You must know that at this time, the price of mutton has soared, and if you really take the prepared mutton to sell it in the customs, you can exchange it for a large amount of grain. What's more, this is medicated, absolutely safe mutton, the generals guarding the pass, whether they take this meat as military food Qin Xiu doesn't care, as long as they don't ask him for food.
As soon as this method was promoted, Gu Ren soon heard that many guards at the pass began to go to the gate to grab live sheep in large numbers. However, this Gu Ren really couldn't take care of it, but he really began to understand why Qiluo was silent after hearing about Yinjing's situation. Because even if it is the right thing, when different people operate, the results are different, and he can only desperately say to himself that he is at least saving people. And what can others do if they want to do evil by saving others?
But having said that, he, like Kira, suddenly felt heavy. In addition to worrying about the silver mirror, Qiluo is also in a bad mood with these border people. They came in to escape the fighting, but they went to the border people's place, and they were stared at bathing and drinking medicine every day, and they really lost their dignity.
To make matters worse, they lost a lot. The flock is the foundation of their survival, and they have almost nothing but sheepskins. In the border people's office, desperate cries can be heard every day.
Kira is also suffering every day, but she can't back down, she knows that at this time, she can only be strong.
And it is precisely because of this that many of the border people and herdsmen who are still lined up at the gate of the city have retreated. They drove the sheep back to their place, and there was a sense of waiting for death. They would rather wait to die. Gu Ren didn't persuade them to come back, because he didn't know which way was better. Although the Yanmen Pass was guarded by Qin Xiu, everything was very regular, but he didn't dare to think about the other passes. He can only hope that the war will not come, at least so that these herdsmen can have a chance to live.
So every day when they came back from the border people, the couple was so tired that they didn't even want to talk. Who can still divide their minds and give Cheng An the trivial matter of death or life. (To be continued......)
